Never seen a superstar no show for as many quarters in the playoffs like Tatum. Dude is just soft.

[CelticsPride18]

Tatum is getting no calls this postseason

[Ben-N1ce]

Absolutely zero ball movement..and the offense is taking an hour to set up.

[jfs1000d]

Celtics all right. Got good looks. Missed 13 of 14. They will turn it around.

Lord, they can’t let Philly hand check and then call soft touch fouls on the other end.

What a disaster. Entire team minus Brown is shook

[PierceFan4ever]

Why does Tatum have to play next level bad in like 1-2 games a series..it’s why this team isn’t consistent enough because it starts with Tatum’s struggles

[Bar Fight]

I have no problem with single coverage on Embiid. Just don't give up wide open threes to anyone who is not Tucker. The issue right now is Tatum is playing like poop offensively.

Having Smart on Embiid one on one that deep in the post is an auto-bucket. So I guess you don't mind giving them easy buckets.

Non Jaylen Celtics are 2-17 from the field. Non Jaylen/White Celtics are 0-12.

The hell is wrong with Tatum???

He has generally been bad since February

[Fencer reregistered]

Jaylen: 5-7 shooting for 12 points.
Rest of the Cs: 2-17 for 7 points.

JFC - get Tatum the ball somewhere besides five feet behind the three point line.

It's like he wants to just stay back there and hoist it

Clear out a side and put him in the post. Run a DHO action. Anything...

That’s Mazulla fault. They should get him ball in high post in an ISO.

We're okay given how crappy we've shot. Energy is solid. But time to get going.

[tfribs45]

We’re not winning this game.

It’s one of those Tatum games where he spends the whole game whining.

Just pathetic.

Relax it’s one quarter. All he needs is one to drop and it’s game on! JB has been carrying us though, throughout. There’s a real question on who is the Alpha on this group, it’s def not so cut and dry anymore. Browns been a dawg!!!!

Yeah, agreed. I put this one Joe too.

[zoyathedestroya]

Need to up the pace somehow. Too indecisive, too methodical.

[Scarletfire81]

Jayson Tatum needs to show up.

[celtics792244]

Thall. Shall. Not. Call. Fouls. On. Phili.

...but will call quick cheap one on JB!

They got their marching orders. Got to play thru this crap. Hitting a few 'no, no, no' shots but missing bunnies. Tatum wide open missed 3 comes to mind.

Hit open shots, beat BS. It's really that simple.
Let's go home 3 -1. Play thru this crap.

[Bleedsgreen]

We going to need 7 heart transplants. Only D White hit a shot in the paint not named JB. Need to take it to the paint and strong not settle for outside ****.

Wide open threes are auto for a team like the Sixers who have decent shooters. Smart made it worse by fouling.

[keevsnick1]

Not a great sign that the only Celtic with any rythm tonight is in foul trouble.
